Section 230 isn't needed in the US.
Prior to Section 230, if they act as a publisher, they are liable for what is posted, but if they act as a platform they are not. We discussed the 2 lawsuits that made this clear.
Section 230 made special rights for "big tech" so they could act as both. It allows them to ban speech they don't like, as a publisher but protects them from lawsuits as a platform.
NO, I am not talking about the few limited cases of banned content by the government and SCotUS.
Your type of conservatism is "but muh corporations are people, so they have muh human rights".
Umm, liberals own virtually all of "big tech", or have you forgotten?
